Ingredients

1 cup white quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups cubed sweet potato
1 head broccoli, florets
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 lemon, juiced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potatoes, broccoli, and peppers with 2 tbsp oil and salt. Roast for 25 minutes.
2. Rinse quinoa under cold water. Combine with broth in a pot, bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
3. Whisk lemon juice, remaining oil, garlic, and herbs. Pour over the warm quinoa.
4. Fold in roasted vegetables and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Serve warm.

Stewart's Secret: For the fluffiest quinoa, let it sit covered off the heat for five minutes after cooking. This allows the steam to finish the grains perfectly.
